Hope was raised again

received so much attention in
the past several years for
water and sewer services,
wasn't listed as one of those
which stood a good chance
for receiving Federal grants

Big Deal

Planned

for Point

Ralph A. Ritterman of Fort
Walton Beach, president of
Northwest Florida Realty,
turned up at the Gulf County
Commission meeting Tues-
day night, saying he was
going to develop St. Joseph
Peninsula in the Cape San
Bias area.
Ritterman said his firm
had purchased the old Ed
Wright property on the
Peninsula and were presently
trying to arrange financing to
develop it. He was talking
of development like condo-
miniums, town houses, golf
courses, etc, "in the manner
of Hilton Head".
Ritterman's real purpose of
being at Tuesday's meeting
was to secure an agreement,
in writing, from the County
that plans he had with him
would comply with any
zoning the County may come
up with in the foreseeable
future. Ritterman said he
needed the assurance "to
present to money lenders as
a requirement of obtaining
financing from them for
purchase of the property and
development. They want to
know our plans meet with
requirements of the county."
Ritterman said the money
lenders wouldn't accept the
fact the county had no zoning
laws or requirements. "Most
places do or at least get them
after they begin to develop",
he said..
The Board took a look at
Ritterman's plans and agreed
to give him a letter that his
plans would meet any re-
quirements they might have
in the foreseeable future.
TRUCK TRAFFIC
Guerry Melton made a
request of the Board to
abolish through truck traffic
on Garrison Avenue. "It's
dangerous as well as a
nuisance for those who live
there", Melton said.
The County Board thought
the City of Port. St. Joe
(Continued on Page 8)


Krezan of the Department of
Pollution Control.
Krezan dealt primarily
with the Beaches and White
City areas saying the County
should complete engineering
on these two areas since
Federal funds would in all
likelihood be available in
fiscal 1975 which begins July
1, 1974.
Commissioner Silas Player
expressed the reluctance of
the Board to proceed, since,
"we will be spending tax-
payers money for engineer-
ing with no assurance of
financing for the systems
once we get through with the
engineering." Player went on
to point out how they had
been led on by Federal
agents on the Oak Grove sys-
tem only to be told there was
no Federal money available
after the engineering was
completed.
Krezan pointed out that
what Player was saying was
true but qualified the reason
for being that all federal
money had been going to the
areas of the worst pollution
and, helping to get it
corrected. "All of the money
has been going to. the big
cities,", Krezaq.. said. "How-
ever, they are through with
their projects now and the
smaller communities of the
state can get money; It won't
take. as much to do all the
small communities of the
state as it has taken to
complete nine major projects
in large cities in Florida",
the Federal representative
said.
NO CHOICE
Krezan said the County
should proceed with comple-
tion of engineering. for White
City and the Beaches sewer
plans and make their appli-
cation for the Federal
money. "By 1977 any area in
the state on septic tanks must
be be on sewer systems
where feasible. If they're not,
the County is subject to a
$5,000 per day fine," the
speaker said.
Kiezan left no doubt in the
Commission's mind sewer
plant collection of effluent
and treatment to state
standards (90 pct. pure) will
be mandatory soon with the
County having to bear -the
financial burden if they have
not taken advantage of
Federal programs to help.
Krezan explained the
county could finance the
engineering by borrowing
from a state fund at two
percent interest to finance
the completion of the plans.
He pointed out interest
payments only, twice a year,
would be required for three
years and men the principal
could be repaid from Federal
grant funds.
Reluctantly, the Commis-
sion resigned themselves to
the inevitability of the
situation and agreed to
proceed as outlined by
Krezan. Their first step will
be to file application for
Federal grants for the sewer
work, after Attorney Rish has
advised them on the filling
out of an application to be
furnished by Krezan.
The Board wasn't reluctant
to do what they could to
obtain sewer services for the
areas, but they were reluc-
tant to use more tax money
making the engineering re-
ports and plans with no
possibility in sight of receiv-
ing financing for the projects.
Krezan, however, told the
Board it was almost certain
there would be Federal
money available by fiscal
1975 to finance the projects.


"Black Gold" In Gulf County




SCharter Oil Co.



Sinking 18,000




.... ...... ... Foot D eep H ole

Charter Exploration and Production Company, a
S '.' subsidiary of Charter Oil Co., is risking a half million dollars
to see if there is oil or gas beneath the ground in Gulf County.
-' .. A bottle of champagne was broken over a hard steel drilling
': bit yesterday at noon to herald the start of a 15,000 foot trip
into the earth in search of the legendary "black gold".


Charter is drilling the
wildcat well on land owned
by St. Joe Paper Company in
Section 26, Township 8 South,
Range 10 West, located about
seven miles Southeast of Port
St Joe off Highway 98.
With yesterday's ceremon-
ial start out of the way,
which was attended by oil
and paper company execu-
tives and newsmen from the
area, drilling operations got
underway immediately. The
well is scheduled to go 15,000
feet into the ground in search
of oil and gas. Drilling
officials say it will take about
90 days to go the 15,000 feet.
An oil company geologist
on the site yesterday told The
Star the drilling site is over
the "Smackover Formation",
which is the same formation
in the Jay oil field. The
geologist says the proper
formations are there, but
only the drilling operation
will prove whether the
treasure is there also.
Loffland Brothers Company
of Laurel, -Miss., is the
operator of the drilling rig
which h stands 160 feet into the
air and is capable of going
18,000 feet into the ground.
This is the first major
drilling attempt to be made
in Gulf County.

Permission Given to Build Dike


After a delay of a year and
a half, the County Commis-
sion granted M K Ranches
permission to construct a
dike across the Willis Land-
ing Road Tuesday night. The
dike will be located about 800
feet West of the present end
of the road.
The County Commission
put several provisos in their
agreement, however. Earlier
this month, M K Ranches had
asked the Board what they'
expected to do with their
request which was hanging
fire. The Board then expres-
sed a willingness to give the
permit if the land firm would
return the portion of Sauls
Creek road, closed at the
request of M K last year, let
the County maintain owner-
ship of a parcel of land set
aside for a public landing on
Sauls Creek and provide
public access to Willis
Landing even after the dike
is built.
Tuesday night, the firm
presented, in writing, their
willingness to grant the
county requests in the
matter.
In the matter of the Willis
Landing access, M K agreed
to give the County a five year
lease for a "nominal" fee
with an option to buy after
the five years at a price to be
set by a qualified appraiser.
Several of the Board mem-
bers wanted the word "nomi-
nal" spelled out a little
better. Attorney Fred Witten
told the Board Attorney


William J. Rish had been
dealing with M K and had
agreed on a yearly lease of
$1.00.
In their final agreement,
the County wished the $1.00
lease amount spelled out in
writing and agreed to by both
the Board and M K.


In the agreement, M K
would assume the expense of
replacing the road across the
top of the dike in keeping
with the rest of the road
leading to the landing.
M K Ranches plan to
construct the dike to connect
with a system they have


installed to keep flood waters
off their property. The firm
also pointed out their dike
would keep flood waters off
the county road and reduce
maintenance costs as well as
keep flood waters off the
property of land owners in
the area.


Two Arrested On Rape Charge


Gulf County Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence announced
the arrest of two suspects
Thursday,in the case of the
Tuesday night, June' 19
abduction and rape of a
14-year-old Mexico Beach
girl.
Taken into custody was
Emanuel Franklin Howard,
26, Apalachicola, who has
been charged with rape.
Also arrested was George
Herman O'Bryan, 26, Altha,
who was charged with
accesory after the fact.
Both subjects have been
identified by the 14 year old
victim, after she picked them
both out of a lineup which
was held at the Sheriff's
office Thursday evening.
"All physical evidence
taken from the crime scene,
as well as testimony given
points to these suspects",
Sheriff Lawrence stated.
Both Howard and O'Brien
are being held without bond
in the Gulf County Jail


pending parole hearings.
They were both inmates of
ACI in Chattahoochee until
January of this year.

not received report cards is
because they owe books or

Born in 'the depths of internal
;, dissent over a seemingly endless war,
"Honor America Day" is once again
upon us to remind us of our obliga-
tion as citizens of this great country.
This year, the celebration ac-
^tually a 21 day salute to America's
.,,greatness began on Flag Day, June
14 and extends through July 4, next
Wednesday. For the first time in
almost a decade, the observance finds
the nation at peace. In the short
space of the single year since the last
Fourth of July, our President has
brought an end to the decisive con-
flict in Vietnam, and opened up new
initiatives with the Eastern Bloc.
We are now dealing with traditional
.opponents'from a.position of eg16M '
ene' self" inderest-discussg "i
relationships in terms of trade ex-
exchanges rather than nuclear ex-
changes.
As we reflect on the glories of
a time free from the agonies of war,
and as we turn our efforts to the
solution of critical problems here at
home, it behooves us all to look close-
ly at the chain of events that- has
brought us to this fortuitous present.
The thinking individual cannot


Watching just a smidgen or two
of the televised Watergate hearings
causes us to marvel ht the recall of
those involved. Those testifying
have either fantastic memories or a
terrific imagination.
Again we join the advice of Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew concerning
Watergate: "Let's get it over with".
We have too many other important
things to do.
The facts in the Watergate case
are known. Seven men entered and
bugged the McGovern headquarters


escape the conclusion that through
the years: since the founding of the
Republic, brave Americans have been
willing to sacrifice everything, if
need be, to defend our way of life
and the cause of justice. This was as
true of the Vietnam Conflict as it'
was of all other wars.
Let us resolve during this season
to honor America to remember with
gratitude the sacrifice of those who
have made it possible to enjoy this
day. Let us put aside our di~f~ences,
and work together to insure that
those who have served are given ap-
propriate recognition based, not upon
popular judgr--s of the conflict in
which they served, but upon the
measure of devotion to the nation de-
monstrated 'by 'those 'who -gave a
poion 4k f their lives, and fre duenu
more, in the cause of our freedom.
As we celebrate the 197th birth-
day of the nation let us also celebrate
the fact that American bravery and
dedication are qualities still in abun-
dance. And as we give thanks for
peace, let us also pray for the con-
tinuation of the strong national will
and spirit typified by the sacrifice
of those who served to insure Ameri-
ca's future.


Affluence or Inflation


If Americans are suffering hard-
ships as a result of inflation, the fig-
ures don't show it. According to U. S.
News and World Report, "Typical in-
come of U.S. families last year was
about $11,200, up almost nine percent
|? from 1971 and 61 percent from 1965.
After allowing for price increases, the
family-income figure was still 21.4
percent above that for 1965." People
buy second homes or acres at the sea-
shore or in the mountains. Millions
,t acquire campers, pickup trucks with
expensive equipment, multiple color
;,television sets for the home and all
types of costly hobbies. Sales figures
for new* cars are at record levels.
Applying these claims to the lo-
cal level, Gulf County Tax Collector
Harland Pridgeon told the Kiwanis
Club a week ago that Florida will


need 9 million vehicle tags for sale
this year. There are less than 7 mil-
lion people in the state of Florida.
Pridgeon said Gulf County alone will
require over 6,000 vehicle tags-in
a county of 10,000 people.
I Just a short week end trip by us
last week revealed that about every
fourth vehicle on the highways is
carrying its own bedroom. And they
are not cheap.
What may actually be happening
is that consumers are confusing af-
fluent living standards with inflation.
What is putting the most strain on
the family budget, say these econ-
omists, are the luxuries to which peo-
ple are becoming accustomed, yvhich
have suddenly turned intc n#cessi-
ties.


in Washington in search of evidence
that the Cuban Communist"govern-
ment and violent-prone groups were
linked with extremist elements with-
in the Democratic campaign organi-
zation. The offenders were tried, con-
victed and jailed in record time.
Now the "investigation" has
boiled down to a contest to see just
which politician can ask the "best
question" on TV.
People are generally fed up wtih
Watergate. Let's get it over with and
get back to important business.

Many Americans, need to
check their outdoor etiquette!
When invited to a friend's
home, most people are
careful not to drop paper on
the floor, spill food, smash
the host's furniture or set fire
to his house.
Unfortunately, some people
aren't as considerate when
visiting recreational areas.
Among America's millions of
outdoor enthusiasts there's
an increasing number of
irresponsible fun seekers who
litter highways and parks;
damage property; contami-
nate lakes and streams; and
set fire to forests.
More and more people are
flooding national and state
parks, and overflowing into
private land in search of
recreation. This rising tide of
humanity brings with it an
ever-increasing flow of debris
and damage-a flow that
must be stopped.
Each of us should check
our own outdoor etiquette,
remind others of their
responsibilities, and help pro-
tect our nation's natural
beauty. And, please!!-Let's
not burn our forest trees!

The intrinsic handicaps
under which mass education

brought to the attention of the
public by a celebrated court
case in New Jersey. The
West Windson Township
Board of Education had
brought suit against a local
doctor and his wife because
the couple had refused to
send their children to school.
Instead, they were educating
the youngsters at home by
means of courses from a

achievement. The couple

Psalms 33: 12-22 from The LIVING BIBLE
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, whose
people he has chosen as his own. The Lord gazes
down upon mankind from heaven where he lives. He
has made their hearts and closely watches every-
thing they do. The best-equipped army cannot save
a king-for great strength is not enough to save
anyone. A war horse is a poor risk for winning vic-
tories-it is strong but it cannot save. But the eyes
of the Lord are watching over those who fear him,
who rely upon his steady love. He will keep them
from death even in times of famine! We depend
upon the Lord alone to save us. Only he can help
us; he protects us like a shield. No wonder we are
happy in the Lord! For we are trusting him. We
trust his holy name. Yes, Lord, let your constant
love surround us, for our hopes are in you alone.


growth of pupils, but their
chief plea was that they had
provided at least the "equi-
valent'" of a classroom
education for their prodigies.
In a decision that may yet
have many reprecussions, the
court upheld' their defense.
The above mentioned chil-
dren are of elementary
school age, but in regard to
the instruction of high school
students the U. S. Office of
Education" has focused on
another hindrance to teach-
ers, namely, teenage mores.
A study made recently by
that Office indicates that
teenagers are avid status
seekers in their own society.
Boys consider success in
studies as less important
than proficiency in athletics.
Girls put the greatestsstore in
attractiveness to boys and in
student activities. The
brightest girls deliberately
shy away from academic
excellence because it may
lower their popularity ratings
with the boys. To put it
succinctly, members of both
sexes prefer to be known as
"good eggs" rather than as
"eggheads." Moreover, they
are less interested in parent-
al approbation than in the
approval of their classmates.
The study, entitled SOCIAL
CLIMATES IN HIGH
SCHOOL, further discovered
that the tendency of teen-
agers to revolt against the
reward-and-punishment con-
trols of adults is more
prevalent in upper middle
class suburbs than in rural
towns or lower income city
neighborhoods. Hence it is
likely that anti-intellectual
pressures will increase be-
cause of the continuing
build-up of suburban areas.
Questions for educators and
parents are raised by this
report and we will discuss
these questions in future
columns.

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1973


L


I really wasn't going to say anything else
about the gasoline shortage, but a trip up the
country over the week end made a believer out
of me. If I was skeptical in the past about the
reality of the gas shortage, I am now convinced
there is a shortage or someone is putting on a
pretty good show.
Coming home Sunday afternoon, I saw gas
station after gas station closed. Oddly enough,
the independents, who were supposed to be hit
so hard by this shortage, were open. The major
oil stations were the ones closed.

I have always taken with, a grain of salt the
claims by men in high places that the networks
and wire services didn't report them accurately
but instead, appeared to report the situation as
they wanted, rather than as it actually happened.
It didn't seem conceivable to me that a per-
son charged with reporting the news, would de-
liberately leave unreported things of relevance
which had definite bearings on the matter at
hand.
I have been reporting happenings long
enough to know it is impossible to report every
bit of information one gathers. But we know
too, that it doesn't take a whole lot of intelligence
to sift the important from the relatively unimpor-
tant and still tell the story as it happened.
Last week, when the two young (very young)
AP writers came to see us in regard to a story
on Port St. Joe, we thought, at last, the story
will be told without the main purpose being just
to take another gig at Ed Ball. Whether he
needs the gig or not is beside the point. Every
article written about Port St. Joe seemingly gets
around to the point of that rogue in Jacksonville
exploiting all of us simpletons down here in Port
St. Joe.
But, when the "writers" got through gather-
ing their information, they apparently proceeded
to write their pre-conceived notions anyway.
Both Preacher Millard Spikes, and Tom Col-.
dewey called me to say they didn't say what was
reported in the article as it was reported. Nei-
ther did I. Although I didn't contact the others
interviewed, -they probably. -weren't oreported- ac--
curately, eith.e 'ista the reporter told
me what Charlie Davis had 'Bid concerning the
Clifford Sims case-not receiving any publicity or
recognition for his being awarded the Congres-
sional Medal of Honor.
I told the reporter, Davis was mistaken, there
was recognition given. A street was named after
the soldier by the City and his receipt of the me-
dal (awarded posthumously by Vice President
Agnew) was given publicity in The Star. As a
matter of fact, I looked it up and found a three
column spread, complete with picture, at the top
of the front page of the issue of December 11,
1969. The reporters still reported no recognition
was given Sims in an apparent attempt to prove
race relations weren't what they should be here
in Port St. Joe.
We admit they aren't what they should be,
but neither are they as bad as indicated in the
article. We'd say they were above normal and
improving steadily.

It might be noted here that so far as I know,
Sims is the only fallen soldier from Port St. Joe
from the First World War through the Vietnam
War who has ever had a street named in his
honor. Willis V. Rowan, the first Port St. Joe
man to die in World War II had the local Ameri-
can Legion Post named in his honor and is the
only other soldier to have his name put in a place
where it will be remembered from now on.
*
We don't mind publicity here in Port St. Joe.
But as long as places like Perry, Cedar Springs,
Georgia, Panama City and Fernandina Beach
don't get the same kind of publicity we get with
our paper mill, the so-called writers are being
pretty obvious in their intentions to cast a slur
on our town. Surely they have better things to
do.
Too, it's amazing to me how a young fellow
can come into our town for the first time; ask
questions of a few people and come up with an
immediate and instant diagnosis of how we think
or how we operate. All of this expertise, mind
you, in a day when the hallmark of the youth is
"finding out who I am and where I'm going".














Annual Flowers Provide


THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1973


Inexpensive


Yard Color


Annual flowers that provide
bloom soon after planting
offer the Florida gardener an
inexpensive source of garden
color for the summer months.
Some can be planted right
where you want them to
bloom for rich displays of
color.
Florida's hot and i'ainy
summers are tough on many
varieties of annuals but
others seem to thrive on the
heat. So, with this important
consideration in mind, here's
a selection of three colorful
and relatively carefree sum-,
mer annuals.
Marigolds. The wide selec-
tion of marigolds offers the
gardener a real treat. Culture
is very easy, as heat, drought
and pests are tolerated well
by these flowers. Plants
thrive in sun or partial shade.
You can grow marigolds
from seed which sprout in a
few days or from started
plants available at garden
shops. New varieties bloom
in two months and continue
to flower for several months.
Marigolds are excellent for
flower borders and for edging


if dwarf varieties are used.
They also make fine cut
flowers, especially types with
odorless foliage. Check your
seed catalog or garden store
for the newest marigold
varieties.
Portulaca or rose-moss is
hard to beat for summer
gardens. It is a favorite
flower for edging, borders,
rock gardens and in window
boxes. The small plants
form a ground cover of bright
rose-like flowers in white,
yellow, orange, rose and red
colors. Flowers are single or
double, 1 to 2 inches across.
You can sow the tiny seed
directly where you want
plants. Plant on a well-
drained site in full sun and do
not overwater. Seed sprouts
in a few days and plants
flower in several months.
Flowers only open fully when
in bright sun and plants
bloom for only a few weeks.
For continuous color all
summer, you might
want to sow seed each month.
Try portulaca in that dry
area of poor soil where few
other flowers thrive and

you'll be surprised how well
this small flower grows.
Another summer toughie is
celosia, commonly called
cockscomb. These old-fas-
hioned favorites come in two
forms--crested and plumy.
Both forms grow well in hot
summer months and can be
planted by seed or as
transplants. Seed germinate
in a week and plants will
bloom when two months old.
Colors include pink, purple,
orange, yellow and red on
dwarf or tall plants. The
large crested varieties have
flower heads measuring 6-10
inches across. Plumed varie-
ties are spectacular in form
and provide a dramatic
display of garden color as
well as unusual cut flowers or
dried bouquets.

Off to A Big Beginning

gram at Port St. Joe Ele-
mentary School, with 65

The high school remedial
reading program has two
trips planned on July 5 and
11. These trips will be to Gulf
World and an amusement

grades K-3 and a workshop
for the Kindergarten teachers
to be held on August 15 and

CONSTANT

ADVERTISING


One step won't take you very far,
You've got to keep on walking.

One word won't tell 'em who you are
You've got to keep on talking.

An inch won't make you very tall,
You've got to keep on growing.

One little ad won't do it all,
You've got to keep them going.

A constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;

By constant gnawin', Towser
Masticates the toughest bone.

The constant, cooing lover
Carries off the blushing maid.

And the constant advertiser
Is the one who gets the trade

So You
Had An
Accident
So you had a minor
accident.
You've fixed your car and
no fault insurance has paid
for the other car as well.
Everything's all taken care
of. Right?
Wrong, if you've damaged a
sign, guardrail, roadside
planting or other property
belonging to the Florida
Department of Transporta-
tion.
Annually the DOT mails out
bills amounting to more than
$200,000 to approximately
3,500 motorists who, in the
apartment property.
Due to the large number of
such claims, the bill for.
damages may not reach the
motorist until some time
after the accident occurred.
But it will arrive.
An unfortunate bicyclist
incurred a large debt to the
state when he and his vehicle
inflicted damages totaling
$25.00 on a bridge gate.
And one administrative as-
sistant to a Secretary of
Transportation was highly
embarrassed when he receiv-
ed a bill for a guardrail.
Incidentally, drivers are
responsible for such claims.
No fault insurance will not
pay such claims unless the
motorist is insured for
property liability.

should have that responsibil-
ity. The City had shunned it,
however, since the street is a
County secondary road.
The County Board finally
--decided to give the City of
:-Port St. Joe permission to
restrict through truck traffic
on the street if they wished
to.
MACHINE PURCHASED
The Board accepted a bid
S-of $23,104.21 presented by the
'Burroughs Corporation for
"furnishing a computer book-
=keeping machine for the
' office of the County Clerk.
Clerk Core had told the
:Board the machine was
almost a "must" to keep up
with the record-keeping re-
quirements of the State of
Florida now.
BRIDGE PROJECTS
The Department of Trans-
portation notified the County
this week they were going to
make one last try to purchase
right of way to& construct a
new bridge at Money Bayou
on SR 30-A before proceeding
with that and another pro-
ject; a new bridge at
Simmons Bayou on the same
road.
Property owners -at Money
Bayou are wanting more for
the right of way required by
a-higher bridge than the state
has been willing to pay.
Tuesday's communication
said, in effect, the Simmons
Bayou bridge, also. a higher
structure, will no longer be
held up waiting for develop-
ments at Money Bayou. The
DOT said they will proceed in
i short while with construc-
tion of the Simmons Bayou
span regardless of how
planned negotiations in the
next couple of weeks at
Money Bayou turn out.
ALTER PAYMENTS
The Board also agreed to
alter the method of paying
the Circuit Court Administra-
tor who has his office in Gulf
County. The change was
made at the request of
Circuit Judge W. L. Fitzpat-
rick.
The Board had previously
refused to make the change
so they could earn a small
amount of interest off the
money, which comes to the
County in a Federal grant.

Alcoholism Council, Inc. will
hold its first Annual Meeting,
The meeting will be held at
the Harbour House Restaur-


comprehensive alcoholism
service to six counties: Bay,
Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jack-
son, and Washington. Outpa-
tient clinics have been
established in all six coun-
ties, and the council is on the
threshold of providing inpat-
ient service to all six counties
as well.
All six counties have been
involved in the planning of
implementing the Myers Act,
a law which will eventually
remove the alcoholic from
the criminal sphere and place
him in the treatment sphere.
These planning workshops
were held to insure that the
law was implemented and
alcoholism service provided,
which were especially tailor-
ed to each county's individual
needs.
At the annual meeting
election of officers ,and board
members for the 1973-74 year
will be held. Community
reports will be given, and
individuals and delegations
from the various communi-
ties will be recognized.
The keynote speaker will
be James A. Alford, M.D. Dr.
Alford became the Bureau
Chief of the Bureau of
Alcoholism for the State of
Florida on June 1, 1973. His
speech at this meeting will be
the first speech he has made


Panhandle Alcoholism Council

Sets First Annual Meet Tonight


in this new capacity.
Dr. Alford brings a varied
and rich background in the
field of alcoholism to his new
post. From 1962-66 he was
Study Director of the Chronic
Alcoholic Court offender in
Atlanta, Ga. Between 1966
and -1968 he worked as
director a a project dealing
with the vocational rehabili-
tation of alcoholics for
Emory University. Between
1968 and 1973 he has worked
directing Mental Health Cen-
ters in Atlanta dealing with
all mental health problems
including alcoholism.
It is hoped that all persons
interested in the field of
alcoholism treatment and
prevention will want to
attend this First Annual
Meeting of the Panhandle
Alcoholism Council, Inc.

Florida Foresters Are Making

Better Use of State's Trees

1 Florida's forest-products
industry is conserving forests
for tomorrow by making
^ better and more efficient use
lof the trees which it harvests.
As late as 1940, only about
50 percent of every log cut in
the forest and transported to
a manufacturing facility was
actually utilized to make into
useful forest products.
Today, thanks to increased
utilization, many wood resi-
dues once considered worth-
less are now being converted
into useful, practical wood
by-products. In effect, the
residues are now serving new
uses; they have become too
valuable to waste.

Gulf County tax payers
paid a total of $1,340,162.32 in
taxes last year, according to
Tax Collector Harland Prid-
geon. Speaking before the
Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club,
Tuesday, Pridgeon pointed
out the tax money was
divided between the County,
the School Board and the
municipalities in the county.
Pridgeon said he had no
idea what next year's tax
picture would be in the
county. "Right now state
people are measuring houses
and buildings in the county
and telling the Tax Assessor
what his assessments should
be in order to come within
the state's required 100


percent assessment. They
claim the county is consi-
derably under assessed."
Pridgeon said the trend is
td reduce personal property
taxes and increase real
estate taxes. "In the mean-
time, the state is making
requirements so complicated
in record keeping it will take
a computer to keep up with
and prepare the proper state-
ments and reports. This is to
encourage small counties to
seek consolidation in order to
share in the cost of such
record keeping."
In preparing the Kiwanians
to begin thinking about
tag-buying time, Pridgeon
said he had not yet received


Gulf County's shipment of
new 1974 tags and doesn't
know when he will get them.
"The tags go on sale July 1
and we don't have them yet"',
he said.
Pridgeon said the state will
require .nine million tags this
year. in a state of less
than seven, million people.
"Gulf County vehicle owners
will buy 6,000 tags, Pridgeon
said. The Collector warned
vehicle owners to check their
pre-written registration sent
them this month to make
sure the .information is
correct: ','We have found the
registration slips to be
generally in a mess", the
Collector said.


The most coveted award,
that of Jaycee of the Year,
went to Leland Davis for his
outstanding contributions to
the organization.
Doug Birmingham was


given the Key Man award
for 1972-73.
The Wewahitchka Jaycees
